Pride makes a man, it drives him, it is the shield wall around his reputation... Men die, they said, but reputation does not die. Bernard Cornwell
Pride should be reserved for something you achieve or obtain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth. Being Irish isn't a skill... it's a fucking genetic accident. You wouldn't say I'm proud to be 5'11"; I'm proud to have a pre-disposition for colon cancer. George Carlin
